Haven gives approval to pre-loved homes

Haven has launched ‘pre-loved’ holiday home approval scheme on their 34 UK parks to assure prospective buyers that used caravan holiay homes meet the company’s exacting standards.

The ‘Approved by Haven’ scheme features an extensive, ‘100 point’ check to make sure absolutely everything works properly and looks good. Buyers will also enjoy a 30-day money-back guarantee if they’re not happy.

A spokesperson for Haven said, “Buying a pre-owned caravan can be a fantastic introduction to the holiday home lifestyle but we appreciate that some people might be anxious that everything should look good and work properly – in much the same way they would be reassured that a car has been thoroughly serviced before purchase.”

The 100 point check includes everything from taps to light switches, crockery to door handles – and if something doesn’t work it’s either fixed or replaced. Even the upholstery is either approved or renewed and the pitch checked and cleaned before the home is sited.

A Haven Approved caravan comes with a comprehensive one year free of charge warranty that covers all the important elements of the holiday home, such as the boiler, gas fire and plumbing.

Buying a pre-owned caravan can be a cost effective way to discover whether this is a lifestyle option that you’ll enjoy with starter homes from less than £12,000 at some parks.

But Haven insist that it’s not just the less expensive holiday homes that are guaranteed under the ‘Approved’ scheme – there is an extensive choice available at all prices levels right through to more luxurious models that come complete with free standing furniture, double-glazing, central heating and en-suite bathrooms

Haven offers flexible finance options and generally includes the first year’s site fees and insurance in the cost of the holiday home.
